@OrlandoM1188@UnderdogWNBA Lynx have no healthy bigs other than Natasha Howard who is 34. Dorka and Phee are out and rookie Emma Cechova recently tore her ACL. Even when Phee is back, they’re still shorthanded so this signing made a lot of sense

31 players defended 200+ isolations this year. Rudy Gobert ranked #1, allowing 0.77 points per iso. Evan Mobley was 3rd & Bam Adebayo was 5th to give some context for the company he's in. Gobert a more complete, dominant defender now than when he won his 3 DPOY in '18, '19 & '21.
